Spanish language Q&A Forum

I don't understand why the English translations of the historical present are not in the English historical present. For example, "Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez dies in 2013." would be perfectly acceptable in a historical context. To use the past tense in the English examples is just confusing, since the point of the lesson is that the same tense exists in Spanish as well.

as it has a time of termination.

I don't understand why I am told that it should be "Alberto llora MUY a menudo".  

Everything; the lesson included; tells me it should be "mucho".

This device is often used in story telling and especially in jokes. E.g. "A man goes into a pub and asks the barman ......" It adds a freshness and immediacy to the narrative.

Hola,

I think “les” is an indirect object pronoun in this phrase. I thought a direct object pronoun would be used because it is “we helped them.” We are the subject they are the direct object. Can you explain?

Many thanks. John

I would like to practice with possessive adjectives & pronouns, especially with the third person singular and plural

Where, in this rich Qwizik, can I find this kind of exercises ? 

Thanks !
